Avant Browser

I like it, it's very dynamic.

Actually I can think of no feature of Avant that can't be reproduced in Firefox - albeit with sometimes considerable customization work. However that's not my point. Rather, it's to raise the interesting possibility of allying the great interface features of Avant/Orca with this layout engine, which...

We've discussed before whether Avant could adopt an Open Source layout engine instead of IE's Trident, if one day Orca and Avant would become a single dual-engine browser and so on. There's even been speculation about adopting KHTML/Webkit. There's another option! I didn't expect to come across anot...

The default location is: C:\Program Files\Avant Browser\Lang

I'm not sure what you mean about "sorting of items" being missing from the file. As far as I know, everything translatable is there.

Actually it didn't crash so much as fail to run. There was no text - the menu bar wasn't populated, and I couldn't type into the address or search bars. It failed to fully download its homepage too, so the problem wasn't just the interface. Works fine under Vista for some reason - I suspect my XP ne...

I'm using it. As a web designer, it's nice to be able to test in Safari without having to find a Mac! But it would never be my day-to-day browser. When you're used to browsers with a huge range of practical, customizable features like Avant (or Firefox or, to a lesser extent, Opera) it seems so stif...

And your point would be...?

Yes, I would open it up and blow any dust out, but you shouldn't have any problems. When you do get online you'll have a lot of updates to download. Hope you have broadband! I would let your antivirus and Windows itself update before using a browser. The files and settings transfer wizard might help...

I don't believe that story for a second, incidentally. Why use a fox for your incendiary when they are not exactly easy to catch? A dog or a sheep or indeed any domestic animal would do as well or better.

How'd the **** I find this thread then?

I've no idea what happened there, sorry.

Er, I'm not sure what you mean. Avant is a shell...

Thank you all for your help! Okay, I'm a dork. :oops: When I went to File --> My Account --> Switch Account, it showed that I DO have the "local storage only" option selected. So, it would seem that the reason that the Bookmarks and RSS feed boxes were greyed-out in the Online Storage options is be...

What do you mean by cards?

Certainly don't turn off Automatic Updates.

You need to keep IE up to date. Do you have version 6 or 7?

I gave GMER a try, and now it's made a huge log file I can't understand in the slightest... Any warning signs I should look for?

3v looks like an interesting one - especially for people like me who don't actually want to own credit cards.

Interesting idea to make a partition purely for Temp files.

(Internet Explorer for Mac only works on OS 9 Macs and earlier, not OS X. As you may guess therefore it's pretty outdated now, though at one time it was the best browser available.)

You have noticed that it's free, haven't you?

Well English was already my first language... but, I have found songs useful in the learning of other languages.

What songs are best? That's surely a matter of personal preference. You'll learn most from the music you enjoy listening to.
